[Qemu-devel] Minimal Qemu build for Plan9

[Ashish Kaila]

Hi,

 

I am a graduate student from CMU and currently working on trying to port Qemu on plan9. I was trying to initially build a minimal Qemu with the least set of devices that are necessary to support a machine, however I noticed that I couldn’t understand some of the dependencies such as requiring an audio driver during initialization. I am currently trying to port just the i386-softmmu version of Qemu to plan9 to keep things simple, here I noticed that  pc_init1() initializes a host of devices on the PCI bus like the NIC card etc and was wondering if there is a bare minimum set of devices that Qemu needs to be built with ?

 

Additionally if someone could point me to a to-do list of things to look out for while porting Qemu on a new platform (new OS/hardware), I would be extremely grateful.

 

Thanks & Regards

Ashish
